Installing on Citra (Release) - Ich73/DQM2-FanTranslation GitHub Wiki

[!IMPORTANT] These instructions show you how to install a Release on Citra.
Alternatively you can use a LayeredFS Patch on Citra by following Installing on Citra (LayeredFS).

Prerequisites

You need:

Setup

[!NOTE] The setup is only required to do a single time. Once this is done you can skip to Patching for updating the game.

Dumping

First you need to obtain a .cia or .3ds file of the game from your original copy of the game: Dumping the Game (CIA) or Dumping the Game (3DS).
Optional: If you have the official v1.1 update installed, you can dump a .cia of it as well: Dumping the Update.

Workspace

Create a new folder and place the following in it:

  • The .cia or .3ds file of the original game
  • The patches for the original game (e.g. Patches-v1.0-EN.zip)
  • GamePatcher.exe from the previously downloaded Game Patcher

Optional: If you have the official v1.1 update, place the following in the folder, in addition to the above files:

  • The .cia file of the official update
  • The patches for the official update (e.g. Patches-v1.1-EN.zip)

Patching

To apply the downloaded patches to the dumped .cia/.3ds file(s) do the following:

  • Run GamePatcher.exe
  • Wait until the process is finished
  • When asked to clean up you have three options:
    • n to preserve all folders and tools and therefore speed up the next execution
    • y to delete all the folders created in the current execution
    • all to delete all folders in the current directory as well as all the downloaded tools

Installing

The last step is to install the patched file(s) on Citra.

  • Run Citra
  • Optional: Choose File > Install CIA... and select the .cia file of the patched update
  • For CIA: Choose File > Install CIA... and select the .cia file of the patched game
  • For 3DS: Choose File > Load File... and select the .3ds file of the patched game

Now you have the translated game installed on Citra.
